[ Also here beating up trees! But with her rope dart instead of bare limbs. Aliza was going to aim for the one Tea's at, but not since it's occupied. Instead she watches for a second. ]

Nice control. [ Not everyone can stop that much force so suddenly, and knowing how strong Tea is makes it all the more impressive. ] I guess if you let loose on it we'd be out of trees pretty fast.

[ ROUNDHOUSE - gentle tap ]

[ she pauses, though, when she's addressed ]

Oh, ta. [ Lowers her leg. ] It's not so much of a problem here, but I like to keep on top of myself.

[ Talking about fighting is always fun. (And also, she's in a good mood for reasons that are peripherally relevant to the last time they spoke, that poll Tea did -- different dragon, but sort of funny all the same.) ]

I figured you had to be pretty toned down in the strength department, too. How different is it? [ Her own is pretty substantially nerfed. ]

Uhhhhhh ...

[ how do you put this into words, words are hard ]

Very? Very. Pretty sure I'm only as strong here as a human can be, and that's like ... tissue paper to a dragon.

They are a bit fragile in comparison. [ She says this with extreme fondness; she quite likes humans actually, and their fragility is part of that (despite what humans have put her through). ]

It must be very strange. I only have a few memories so I only understand a bit of it.

Just a bit. [ she has mixed feelings on humanity at the moment; feelings she's absolutely not going to elaborate on here ]

[ Pauses to grab her water bottle ]

I've gotten back ... wow, must be thirty or something? Honestly, by this point, it's gonna be weirder having it all back.

Thirty... [ That sounds like a lot. She must have been here for quite some time. ]

Are you planning to have them all back soon? Or just wondering. [ The only way that happens is graduation, right? She's still not clear on all the logistics (thanks to sticking her fingers in her ears about the whole process). ]

[ a long pfffff ]

Nahhhh. I've got a long, long, long way to go before I'm anywhere close to having all of them. Dragons where I'm from are functionally immortal ... [ waves a hand ] And most've my memories last a couple of hours at most.

My kind is the same, at least I think so. [ Hard to be sure and like Tea said it would take forever to get all those years of memories. ] A longer lifespan sounds nice until you have to pay to get it all back piece by piece, I guess.

Should I let you get back to the tree? I get nosy around other people's training routines, is all. "Professional" hazard.

"Professional?"

[ bounces a li'l on the balls of her feet ]

I don't mind if you hang out. I learned most've this on, like, YouTube, so it's not like you'd be stealing any secrets from me if you watched.

Just a bit of a joke, because of all the fighting games we have to do here. And whatever I did in my past that taught me how to fight in the first place.

[ the bouncing is super cute wow ]

If I wanted to steal your secrets, I'd ask you to fight with me instead of the tree. It's impressive for learning from the infernet, by the way.

You don't have to answer this, I'm just being nosy ... but how many memories d'you have so far?

[ resumes kicking, faster this time but with equal precision ]

You wouldn't get anything out of an actual spar with me, though. Unless it was duel noodles! I'm always down for a duel noodle noodle duel.

Just two. They were both really awful so I'm taking my time with them. Since the last game was so terrible I don't think I'll get another one for a while.

[ She's entirely unsure why she wouldn't get anything out of an actual spar, but fair enough. ] If you feel like a noodle duel, then sure. Those things are pretty fun.

Oof, they were? Sorry to hear that ...

It's fine. I'll get used to it. [ If there's any good memories in there, she'll eat her hat. And she can't just not get them given her whole everything, so no other choice. ] Thanks, though.
